No Egg Homemade Pistachio Pudding

Forget about instant pistachio pudding mix, try this easy Homemade Pistachio Pudding recipe. Rich, creamy and the flavor is so fresh, you’ll never look back.
I am back, yaaaay. Don’t get me wrong, I am not happy that I left my family and friends but I am happy that FINALLY I am really back. I’ve had a very bad – if not the worst at all- trip back to the states.
You see, my misery started the Saturday night when I convinced myself somehow that I will surely get enough sleep and REST in the longest plane – the one that crosses the ocean-so I stayed awake all night with my nieces and nephew, wanting to get as much as we can of good time together💔.
Then my sister and her husband dropped us at the airport, went to park their cars so they can come back to me. Unfortunately. it was very crowded and they could not come back in time so I had to go in without hugging my sister and saying goodbye💔.
After all these broken hearts, the plane took off 30 minutes late but we landed safely in Turkey 🇹🇷. We managed to get into the second plane which is the longest in terms of time as it also took off almost an hour late😲. Aaaaand guess what, I did sleep for like 15 minutes in the whole 9 and half hours!!!.With a broken heart and a very broken back and neck we again landed in Toronto 🇨🇦. I managed to get to the US customs, waited and waited for my name to show up in that screen indicating I am good to go to my gate,but nothing showed up, only my kids names but not mine 😡. Then after asking, I discovered I was taken off of the list of passengers!! WHYYYY MEEEEEEEE?.. By then I’ve also developed a broken brain which could not process that.. what has been done is irrecoverable and there is no way I am boarding this plane ✈️. I spent almost 1 hour walking up and down, east to west in the airport trying to locate the Turkish airlines office so to ask what’s next and by now I’ven developed a very tiring, killing pain in my leg that I felt I’ve developed a broken leg.
What really made me super angry is their customer service who insisted that it must be me and their plane was only 19 minutes late landing!! I shouted at the top of my lungs and was about to cry, with cranky kids and my whole body was aching and they still ask why I was taken off the list!! are you asking me? really!!
With a broken heart, a broken back, a broken foggy mind, a broken leg and a broken vocal cords, I dragged myself and my poor kiddos to a nearby hotel- that we were compensated for- only to sleep there for 5 hours and then back up running like crazy so we will not miss this flight as well. So imagine my happiness to see my hubby’s sweet smile, that I did not even care that the bags – as expected- did not arrive. A horrible trip… really.
So, who’s ready for a simple creamy dessert after this tiring story? A simple welcome home dessert that was easy, fresh and screams home sweet home 🏠. Let me show you how to make it.

In your blender jar, soak the pistachios in milk for about 30 minutes, so as to make it easier to blend and get out all the goodness.

Strain the mixture well through a fine mesh or a cheese cloth.

Heat the milk with sugar and then add the cornstarch, keep stirring until it thickens

Pour into serving containers and serve. Warm, cold or room temperature. I dare you to find a place, time or a meal not improved by the presence of such simple sweet recipe. This pudding can be made 100% dairy free by substituting water for milk. It can be made as a quick after school snack for kiddos or as on the go snack. Very delicious and kid friendly.

I hope you’ll like this simple welcome home recipe and please if you make this recipe, snap a pic and hashtag it #amiraspantry — I love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter!

What a terrible time on your trip back home! I can’t believe you had enough energy to make this delicious dessert! I just flew back home to Australia last night from Madrid and had no problems- except that many people in Madrid leave for their holidays in August so the airport was very crowded. Even though there is no egg in your dessert, it still looks nice and thick and creamy!

Fran, we lived on pizza the first couple of days but then …. I have a family to feed I had to step into the kitchen :). Anyways, it is so easy to make that you can make while doing other stuff. Welcome back, I hope you’ve had a great time in Madrid. Waiting to see more pictures and hear more stories.
